Latest takes
“Last year’s PPR RB2 in fantasy points per game, and now free from Tyler Allgeier , Bijan Robinson feels primed to take a big step forward in 2026.”
Tom Strachan· Aug 9“Round 1 starts with a coin flip between Bijan Robinson and Jahmyr Gibbs at the top — Fitzmaurice gives a slight edge to Robinson’s bigger frame, but calls it close enough that he’d be comfortable with either in different leagues. Whichever one he lands, he’s generally committing to a Hero RB build and staying away from a second running back for several rounds.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 8“Bijan Robinson Love has yet to play an NFL snap; Bijan has 5,600+ career yards and 34 TDs”

“Bijan Robinson got a new deal recently now it's Taylor's turn”
FFToday· Aug 6“Another generic one that is pretty popular. I’ve named my fantasy team this a couple of times when drafting Bijan Robinson . As if you need another excuse to draft the Falcons superstar running back. He’s my 1.01 this year.”
Frank Ammirante· Aug 4“While getting QBs early in a SuperFlex draft is much more typical than in a 1QB system, Jason chose to get an RB in Bijan Robinson to start his draft.”
Kurt Mullen· Jul 29“The RB1 Debate The Bijan Robinson vs Jahmyr Gibbs debate has been discussed multiple times on recent shows, but the consensus is that both RBs are clearly above the rest of the field.”
Jordan Pullett· Jul 29“Top-12 Drafted RBs in 2025 RB 2025 ADP 2024 Finish 2025 Games Played Bijan Robinson RB1 RB3 17 Saquon Barkley RB2 RB13 16 Jahmyr Gibbs RB3 RB4 17 Christian McCaffrey RB4 RB1 17 Derrick Henry RB5 RB7 17 Ashton Jeanty RB6 RB12 17 Josh Jacobs RB7 RB15 15 De’Von Achane RB8 RB6 16 Jonathan Taylor RB9 RB2 17 Bucky Irving RB10 RB33 10 Chase Brown RB11 RB8 17 Kyren Williams RB12 RB9 17 2025 RB Health Last season, nine out of 12 top RBs drafted finished as an RB1, resulting in a mostly chalky season at the top for RBs.”
Jordan Pullett· Jul 29“Players such as Christian McCaffrey , Jahmyr Gibbs , Bijan Robinson and De’Von Achane all cleared 60 receptions last season. They produce in every phase of the game.”
Lawrence Iacona· Jul 27“As is the case with Jahmyr Gibbs, Bijan Robinson has an opportunity to highly benefit from more time on the field in 2026.”
Steve Krebs· Jul 23“The No. 1 overall player based on PlayerProfiler’s Lifetime Value Metric is Jahmyr Gibbs with a value of 392.9. In case you were wondering, Bijan Robinson is second with 373.30.”
Jonathan Lange· Jul 21“We know the offense is going to flow through Bijan Robinson, Drake London, and Kyle Pitts.”
Matthew Betz· Jul 19“Robinson is just as good as everyone thought he'd be coming out of Texas. The problem for the Falcons is exactly what everyone thought as well: they don't have the infrastructure to maximize Robinson's talents.”
Ethan Woodie· Jul 11“Robinson had a pitiful 49.3% red zone rushing share. With Allgeier and the previous coaching staff gone, Robinson should enjoy more usage near paydirt in 2026.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 9“Last year, Bijan Robinson was the RB2 in fantasy points per game. Robinson was incredibly efficient with his workload last season, which is a reflection of his insane talent. He finished top-three among running backs (minimum 100 carries, 20 targets) in receiving yards per game, target share, yards per route run, first downs per route run, missed tackles forced per attempt, and yards after contact per attempt.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 9
“There is plenty of uncertainty around Nabers and whether or not he will be his usual explosive self to start the season, but getting a WR of this caliber in the third round is the type of pick that can really make a difference down the stretch of the season if he is back to 100%.”
Kurt Mullen· Aug 7“I’m going to piggyback on my running back health statement above and avoid Malik Nabers at receiver.”
FantasyPros Staff· Aug 7“Only SEC WR besides Malik Nabers with 30+ missed tackles forced on receptions in a season over the past 5 years”

“This should lock him into the second option behind Malik Nabers”
Ellis Johnson· Aug 6“Add in the fact that Malik Nabers is recovering from a significant knee injury, and you can see why Dart is a pass.”
Frank Ammirante· Jul 27“Malik Nabers (WR – NYG): Down 4 spots to No. 44 A slow, steady bleed that’s now the longest-running faller trend over the last few weeks. Nabers has slipped roughly 14 spots since we first flagged him in late June for missing mandatory minicamp during a lengthy ACL and meniscus rehab.”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 24“Malik Nabers, CeeDee Lamb, and Justin Jefferson all have similar LTV scores in the same range as Love’s.”
Jonathan Lange· Jul 21“This dip will only increase when Malik Nabers heads to the physically unable to perform (PUP) list at the start of training camp. Latest reports suggest it could be Week 5 or 6 before Nabers is back to full health.”
Tom Strachan· Jul 20“Nabers could miss the start of the year and might not be 100% until 2027, making him a massive risk to draft as a top-12 wide receiver.”
Mike Fanelli· Jul 20“The Giants know what they have in a healthy Nabers, and they know what they have in his absence. If available, he'll be a main focus and favorite target for second-year quarterback Jaxson Dart, and if he's not, then he won't.”
Ely Allen· Jul 13“Malik Nabers and Tucker Kraft finish outside WR50 and TE20, respectively. Nabers is still way too expensive at WR 17, but he's coming off reconstructive knee surgery, and even Nabers admitted to ESPN's Adam Schefter that week one sounds "a little ambitious."”
FantasyPros Staff· Jul 2“Is Malik Nabers worth your entire FAAB budget in a chopped league? Unfortunately, Malik Nabers suffered a season-ending injury just four days after this post.”
Colt Williams· Jul 1“Malik Nabers is targeting a Week 1 return after undergoing a cleanup procedure on the knee he previously had surgery on for a torn ACL and a full meniscus repair.”
Josh Shepardson· Jul 1“After an electric rookie season, Nabers' sophomore season was cut short with a severe ACL tear. Although Nabers should be close to fully back, he has had some setbacks and a cleanup procedure this offseason.”
Ellis Johnson· Jun 29“The Giants don't project to pass a lot this season under Harbaugh and new offensive coordinator Matt Nagy. The Giants also added several pieces around Nabers, including tight end Isaiah Likely to one of the biggest contracts in history for a tight end, along with veteran receivers Darnell Mooney and Calvin Austin.”
